Lovitz: I meant it about Obama

Former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Jon Lovitz made headlines recently when he harshly rebuked President Barack Obama for his tax policies, despite having voted for Obama in 2008.

Lovitz doubled down on his comments Tuesday night during an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan.

“Yes, I did mean what I said,” said Lovitz. “I believed in him, I agreed with everything he was saying when he ran for president, I was listening to what he said, I thought this guy thinks like me and I agree with him. And now he’s changing.”

“This whole idea of this 1 percent versus the 99 percent, it’s a false static,” said Lovitz, adding that Obama was “creating a false class warfare” with his policies and rhetoric.

Last month, Lovitz caused double takes with a profanity-laced rant against Obama: “The rich don’t pay their taxes? Let me tell you something, right. First they tell you — you’re dead broke — this is the United States of America, you can do anything you want, go for it. So then you go for it, and then you make it, and everyone’s like, f**k you.”
